The Utah Mammoth hockey team has unveiled a new fan experience called the 'Zammoth' - a retrofitted 2002 Winter Olympic Zamboni that has been transformed into a mammoth-themed ride for fans to enjoy at home games. The 'Zammoth' features custom lighting, sound, and a 3D printed trunk and tusks, and can carry up to eight riders during pregame and intermissions.
